What MGMT90140 covers

The sequence opens at Self-Awareness and Competence Evidence, develops its central analytical shift in Persuasion and Influence, and closes with Conflict, Change and Career Growth.

01

Self-Awareness and Competence Evidence

Self-Awareness · Competence · Multi-Source Feedback · compare self-perception with observer evidence to select a development focus
02

Self-Improvement and Deliberate Development

Development Goal · Deliberate Practice · Feedback Loop · turn a broad intention into a feasible practice and review cycle
03

Professional Relationships and Networks

Professional Relationship · Network Tie · Reciprocity · map relationship quality and network structure before choosing how to seek or offer support
04

Power and Organisational Politics

Power · Dependence · Organisational Politics · diagnose power through resources and dependence before judging political behaviour
05

Communication and Feedback

Communication Channel · Active Listening · Developmental Feedback · match message, channel and listening behaviour to a feedback purpose
06

Persuasion and Influence

Persuasion · Influence Tactic · Audience Evidence · design an influence attempt around the audiences evidence and decision conditions
07

Motivation and Goal Direction

Motivation · Goal Commitment · Self-Regulation · connect personally meaningful goals to sustained and adjustable action
08

Creative Problem Solving

Problem Framing · Idea Generation · Selection Criterion · separate problem framing, divergent generation and convergent evaluation
09

Collaboration and Team Case Work

Collaboration · Task Interdependence · Team Coordination · design team work around interdependence, contribution and integration
10

Conflict, Change and Career Growth

Conflict Management · Change Adaptability · Career Self-Management · integrate conflict, change and career evidence into a continuing development plan

It is positioned as Graduate management subject.

The subject uses repeated self-assessment, feedback, team application and reflection so competence development is treated as an evidence cycle rather than a personality label.

Assessment in MGMT90140 is distributed as follows: Personal mission statement exercise 5%; competence assessment 20%; team business case report 30%; feedback-giving exercise 5%; critical reflection 40%.

The operational assessment conditions matter here.

Use the live LMS for each exercise, report, presentation and reflection brief and for any additional examination or operating condition; this guide does not infer an absence from the published task list.

What makes MGMT90140 demanding is concrete: Students must convert self-knowledge and feedback into feasible development experiments, then use later evidence to evaluate change without treating activity, intention or one observers view as proof of competence.

Hurdle status must be confirmed in the live LMS before relying on the aggregate mark.

For enrolment planning, Confirm current prerequisite and enrolment rules in the University of Melbourne Handbook or live enrolment system.

The sequence opens at Self-Awareness and Competence Evidence, develops its central analytical shift in Persuasion and Influence, and closes with Conflict, Change and Career Growth.

Worked example · free

Integrated practice: resolve the changed evidence

Q [9 marks]. Increase interdependence between two workstreams and redesign the coordination and review points. Develop a response that uses Collaboration, makes the role of Task Interdependence inspectable, and lets Team Coordination alter the conclusion. This mark allocation is a study aid created for this guide and is not part of the university's published assessment scheme.
  • 3Fix the case-specific meaning and evidential scale of Collaboration.
  • 2Show the operation or inferential link carried by Task Interdependence.
  • 2Use Team Coordination to test the strongest plausible alternative.
  • 2Report the answer within this limit: Dividing a report into isolated sections is not collaboration when evidence and recommendations are never integrated.
The response first fixes Collaboration at the scale stated in the scenario and excludes evidence that belongs to a different object. It then traces Task Interdependence through the relevant evidence rather than assuming the connection. The comparison supplied by Team Coordination determines whether the initial position remains, narrows or reverses. The final claim stays conditional on this boundary: Dividing a report into isolated sections is not collaboration when evidence and recommendations are never integrated.
Sia tip — Put the decisive Task Interdependence evidence beside the first conclusion it changes; use the Team Coordination counter-case to reveal any unsupported leap in chapter 28.
